gr.king Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Although they are "latest design", the Bill Bedford / Mousa Models 3D printed kits for GNR 6 wheeled carriages that I've recently built did not have what I considered to be a good arrangement for later access to the interiors, so I made a modification to those. As supplied, it would appear (although there are no specific instructions on the matter) that the main body module is meant to be glued onto the floor / solebars / headstocks module, and (once the glazing is slotted in) the roof is a clip-fit onto the rest of the assembly. It is demonstrably possible to un-clip the roof again, without damage, if you are both careful and lucky, but I know of some who haven't manage to do that without grief. I therefore glued, as firmly as possible, some plastic blocks into either the lower corners of the body modules, or under the moulded seats at the corners of the floor module, so that either screws through the floor from below, or pins through the carriage end, depending on what would actually fit in with the rest of the model, could be used to mount the body separably on the underframe. That saves any worries about removal of the roof, and in fact opens up the opportunity to glue down the edges of the roof, thus avoiding any undesirable gaps between roofs and sides. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just back from Bingham and I don't know what they closed the road for at the level crossing, but it wasn't to demolish the signal box. To clarify why I was so worried about it, they actually published the date that they intended to demolish it a couple or so years ago and there was such an outcry from the local community that they deferred it. But they made it clear at the time that it was just a temporary reprieve. So I am much relieved that it still stands and while it does, there is hope it will eventually permanently survive.

Either way, it's highly-desirable to be able to subsequently get inside a carriage after it's been built/painted. I acquired this set of beautiful Connoisseur 7mm S&D coaches a little while back. While they're painted and lined to an outstanding standard, I can't see any way into them without risking damage to the finish. It's a shame as while nothing has come loose, I'd like to be able to add passengers. If they weren't built so nicely, I wouldn't be so concerned about damaging them. I have an equivalent set to build in 4mm so with those I will certainly be making the insides accessible. Al 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make a lot of sense unless they're somehow trying to remove the lever frame without taking the roof off. (Good luck with that, if so). I always think of Lowdham as having (to my knowledge) the last main line single slip in Notts into the single siding which was the goods yard. In the end it was taken out a few years back but there's still some isolated track there. Edited October 12, 2020 by Clem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Iain.d Posted October 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I have finally completed my latest 1980s Hornby Stanier rebuilds: a D1903 Composite Open and a D1999 Third Open – I say finally as these two seem to have taken an age. Mind you I’ve also been doing a GW Auto Trailer and an LMS Restaurant Car, a Ratio SR wagon, and a half dozen or so other little jobs…as well as working, keeping a house, getting the garden ready for summer, having a WA holiday staycation….so I can’t really complain! Here they are, pre the body being fitted back to the chassis. I have probably ‘over painted’ the interiors for what will, and can, be seen through the windows. But if I ever get around to building a layout and I end up taking pictures, sure as eggs are eggs there’ll be some part of the interior that hasn’t been done. There’s also the possibility, one day, that I might fit interior lights. D1903 Composite Open: D1999 Third Open: And complete, less corridor connectors. I think they scrub up pretty well and stand a reasonable level of scrutiny. I'm not quite satisfied how the ends mate up to the sides and roof, but that's related to the original design by Hornby and not worth the effort to rectify, but with the added detail of filler pipes, handrails, gangway suspension thingies, lamp brackets, electrical connectors and alarm gear the right impression is there. The roof ribs are reasonably pronounced, but I can live with these; in some of the images I have of these carriages they were/are quite obvious, much more so than the BR Mk1. I've also built these to run in rakes of like vehicles (bar the odd one or two) so, as they are all the same, the ribs are kind of hidden in plain view, if that makes sense. I need to cut back the bogie fixing bolts. I am quite pleased how the curtains and table lamps came out in the first class section of the D1903. The curtains are blanket ribbon (I think that’s what it’s called) glued to a little frame cut from plastic card, I then tie a couple of wraps of cotton about a third of the way up to represent the tie backs – everyone is slightly different. The little assembly is then glued to the back of the glass. Though a faff and fiddle to make I think these are better than painted on curtains. I never had much luck with the MJT ones either, I could never get them to look more than a painted casting - due to my inability rather than the product!

Very natural Ray, Just as I remember seeing it, at York in October 1965. I didn't take its picture, but took another K1 (62010) dead, along with a few A1s and V2s on the scrap lines. It was ironic, because there was a line of locos all built post-War (with the exception of the V2s) waiting for scrap, when alongside chuffed a pre-Grouping J27, in gleaming condition! I have three K1s which run on Little Bytham.............. From left to right we have 62070 (DMR/Wright/Foster), 62038 (Nu-Cast/Houlden/Wright) and 62018 (Nu-Cast/Wright/Haynes).

We seem to have been gadding about "adding value" when all we've been doing is adding cost. When it boils down to it, all we need is warmth, food, water and shelter. The rest of it is "added value", however we seem to be achieving things without the travel, the main thing that worries me is not the lack of travel, but the lack of venues where artists, musicians, dancers, comedians can ply their trade and earn a living. 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Hall at Bourne in 2008 Brocklesby in 2013 when I was driving from Grimsby, having visited Atlantic 3279 of this parish to Oughtibridge near Sheffield for an open day at John Quick's of the GCRS. Now this weekend here in Adelaide we should have been hosting our annual BRMA Convention with guest UK speaker Simon Kohler if it hadn't been for ... well you know what! On the Friday we would have unveiled the Spirsby layout seen on p 2037 of Wright Writes. Our Convention is now scheduled for 51 weeks time, ie one week earlier in 2021 all things being equal. To quench my thirst for all things railway related last weekend I went up to the Pichi Richi Railway in the mid north of South Australia with my wife's cousin - part of the old Trans Australia Railway, narrow gauge 3'6", for a ride on their version of the old Ghan called 'The Afghan', starting at Port Augusta which was hauled by restored Commonwealth Railways NM Class 4-8-0 No 25, seen here awaiting departure on the return journey at Quorn in the Flinders Ranges. I'm sure Manna of this parish will recognise all these locations. I actually called in to see Terry (Manna) on my way up there to deliver some secondhand Kirk Gresleys for Terry fix up for his layout. The next day we followed the train called the 'Pichi Richi Explorer' which is a shorter journey starting at Quorn and just goes up to the centre of the pass. This was hauled by ex Silverton Tramway W22 a Beyer Peacock built 4-8-2 of the early 1950s (actually Western Australian W916 restored as W22 and using some parts from W22, including the shroud along the top of the boiler), seen here crossing the bridge at Woolshed Flat. The highlight of the day was however, seeing The Coffee Pot, possibly the only operating proper steam railmotor in the world (I discount the GWR steam railmotor as what you see is essentially a carriage with a chimney - I can hear St Enodoc grinding his teeth at this statement!). There were two of these railmotors, the engine units being a 2-2-0 well tank built by Kitson of Leeds in 1906. Its runs about 4 times a year on a fully catered luncheon special. We're lucky that it ended up being plinthed in Alice Springs for many years and was duly rescued for restoration by the Pichi Richi Railway in 1973. I had a short ride on this a couple of years ago after its second major restoration. Here it is departing from Quorn, note the old Commonwealth Railways somersault signals. As slight diversion from my LNER modelling I'm working on a few South Australian Railways projects for a week or so! Will post some photos later. Andrew G'Day Folks It was nice of Andrew to drop in those Kirk coaches, it's 'Kinda' on the way, and was good to have a chat. I don't have a pic of W22 to hand, but I have one of Silverton Tramways No 25, in 1969. Also a couple of J1's both nearing completion. 3012, is a modified N2, with a Hornby 'Schools' tender drive, 3001 is a modified 'Chris P Bacon' J50 chassis, with scratch body.

Perhaps it's the weather, but I do feel awfully glum today. It's easy to feel that what is going on today is a new status quo; it's not. Covid will have changed some aspects of life-as-it-used-to-be forever, and the arrival and implementation of vaccination will not allow a return to it in every aspect. It has accelerated changes that were already in motion anyway, and I'd anticipate we'll start seeing more as the complete "new normal" emerges. The airline industry has, in ecological terms, been a major part of the problem for a very long time and Covid has just brought forward the day when it will have to become part of the solution or die. What price Heathrow's third runway now? Rail too will change, I don't see firms being able to deal with home-working by all their staff all the time but the fall in numbers commuting five days a week will inevitably continue. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, it was becoming ever more, difficult and expensive to cater for increasing peak-hour commuting in mature cities like London which then became less unpleasant and fuelled demand even more. The need for much of what we previously thought was going to be required will be deferred, at the least. That should free up resources for reducing the environmental impact of the industry and improving its appeal in areas/regions that have been neglected for decades and where poor quality and overcrowded trains have no hope of attracting substantial numbers of commuters from their comfy and (maybe) soon to be self-driving, but ever more prone to congestion, cars.

However, because there's no easy way of now getting inside them (everything is 'permanently' fixed together with glue or solder!), things like pushed-in windows and internal detail free to currently move around (because the Evo-Stik has failed) cannot really be satisfactorily remedied; which means that some of those carriages have sides which face away from viewers!

Tony Wright Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) A change of plan...................... I had originally started making the part-started J6 acquired from the late Roy Jackson's estate in EM Gauge. However, Retford already has three J6s, but very few V2s. Thus, my subsequent EM chassis constructions will by 2-6-2s in EM Gauge. Anyway, it's now built in OO Gauge................ It's running with a borrowed tender from another J6. The worm can just be seen beneath the backplate. Despite 'howls of anguish' from some quarters about visible drives, once this is painted, with a crew installed, I'll defy anyone to be able to see it. It's a mixture of scratch-built and Nu-Cast Partners parts, to make a 521 series J6 (something not really catered for with the Nu-Cast kit). Now, to make an appropriate symmetrical-wheelbase tender................ Having said that Retford has three J6s (suggesting enough?), this will bring Bytham's complement of the class up to five (too many?), although one of those is on the M&GNR bit. At least nobody will think they're RTR. Edited October 14, 2020 by Tony Wright to add something 18 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wagons are all NGS kits - with the Warwells needing a fair bit of work to go together well. All are unfinished with the bogies to complete including fitting etched hand brake wheels and adding decals. The Land Rovers are just ODC RTP efforts while the Saxon APCs are NGS resin kits that I've assembled (very easy with few parts) and painted. Here's how it all looks so far.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Manxcat Posted October 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2020 Here is a photo taken from an old 35mm slide of mine from 47 years ago which might be of interest. (Apologies for the less than perfect quality.) When I joined my local club the chairman, Ronnie Cockburn (sadly now very recently deceased) was an avid modeller of the Caledonian Railway. At his request, he had received a Hornby model of a Southern M7 as a Christmas present from his wife. She was somewhat aghast to find him, a few hours later, cutting through the front of the footplate with a modelling saw. At that time there was no kit available for the CR 439 class but a shortened version of the M7 could be made to quite closely resemble the 439. This prompted me to try the very same modification and the loco in the photo is the result of my efforts. I stripped off the SR green livery, cut and shut it, resprayed it and lined it with a bow pen. I appreciate now how much detail is missing, lamp irons, smokebox details, lamps and a crew but I did add real coal and a three link coupling. I was about 17 at the time and I was really proud of it. I sold it three years later for twice what I had paid for it! Archie 25 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tony Wright Posted October 15, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yesterday afternoon was spent in 'filming' some 'bite-sized' hints and tips for the forthcoming BRM virtual exhibition next month. This was my set-up; I 'acted' on the far side and Howard Smith did the camcorder work. Topics covered included how to achieve reliable running, maintenance, couplings, making point rodding and telegraph poles. My stage props are apparent. Tuesday morning was spent in editing the moving footage for the exhibition showing.............. Ian Wilson's Bridgefield Quarry in O Gauge. My own Little Bytham in OO. Retford in EM. And Hornby's latest GWR Prairies operating on Little Bytham. Since my review appeared in BRM, a friend has pointed out that I neglected to mention the incorrect shape of the firebox and the bunker. What have I missed? Return to the virtual exhibition. I think this is the future of exhibitions for the foreseeable future - online. I have to say, I'm delighted with how the moving footage has turned out, though it'll be up to others to decide how well it's worked. 20 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
